Will Explains Why Willow Dropped Out of Annie

Last week it was announced that Willow Smith was no longer attached to the Annie remake being produced by her father Will Smith and Jay Z [click hereif you missed that].

Over the weekend Will explained why Willow dropped out...

While promoting Sister Soulja's new book 'A Deeper Love Inside: The Porsche Santiaga Story' at Temple University, Will explained,

"In the past eighteen months, I have spent a lot of time focusing on the emotional aspect of my life and my family. In 2010, in one year, our family had the “Karate Kid”, we had “Whip my Hair”, we had Hawthorne, and at the end of the year, we did the Nobel Concert when Barack Obama won his Nobel Peace Prize. Don’t be clapping yet, that wears you out. The thing that had become very clear to me is the danger of a material world and focusing so hard on coming up with money or a house or a job. You focus so hard on those things, and sometimes you can lose focus on why you are doing it in the first place. The only reason to do any of that is to have love."

"Willow was supposed to be doing “Annie”, we got Jay-Z to do the movie, got the studio to come in and Willow had such a difficult time on tour with “Whip my Hair” and she said, “You know Daddy, I don’t think so” and I said, “baby, hold up! I said no,no,no, listen, you’ll be in New York with all of your friends and Beyoncé will be there. You will be singing and dancing,” and she looked at me and said, “Daddy, I have a better idea, how about I just be 12.”

"I’m really learning through Willow the necessity that we have to snap ourselves back and refocus on the emotional needs of the people that we love. Someone’s emotional needs can be very very different from your dreams and what you think they should be doing and where they are supposed to be."

@ 3:10: Sista Soulja had a ghost writer for Coldest Winter ever? Call me crazy but I NEVER liked that book. EVER. Typical hood book. I hear she's got a part 2 out now. Forgot the name but it focuses on Winter/Sasha's younger sister.

Anyhoo, will does need to sit her skinny,weird ass down and just be a kid. It's like she was donning too many different personas and the shit was failing. Miserably. He need to focus on Jaden and his penchant for lipgloss and astroglide...

Good, Willow's not impressed or influenced by beyonce, Will said to his daughter "beyonce will be there" as if that's suppose to shape the girls decision "oh shucks daddy, you say beyonce will be there, well golly gee that makes it well worth the sacrifice of my childhood, I live and die for beyonce like you do daddy and like mommy lives and dies for jay-z, I get why mommy tried to sell me to the carters now, because life ain't worth nothing if the carters aren't around"

Please.Will and Jada should be embarrassed of themselves for shucking and jiving to the carters beat and being willing to destroy Annie for jay-z, why annie, because of jay-z's song, was jay-z about to have the orphans dealing crack and then have them rob daddy warbucks once annie got inside the house, was annie going to be tricking for daddy warbucks beyonce style.

ROFL!!

Will finally decided to step in and stop Jada from pimping his daughter out.

He wrote all that bullshit for nothing. The PUBLIC IS NOT AS STUPID AS YOU THINK Mr. Smith.

3:18 PM ---------------Thank you, wasnt Jada in a band and forced her daughter to sing. Will said hell no because he knew the music Industry will spit you. Did they give JayZ the money back. Yep. Will is a powerful mofo dont play with him!!!

Lmao@BeeGee! Jill is just saving face. He passively allows his children to be abused, that t-shirt he is wearing is further proof of his hypocrisy. You are a high ranking Scientologist with mindcontrolled, multiple personality having children, talking about free the slaves? Very sick joke, you are playing on the public, Mr Smith. I hope you and your little Wada rot in hell for what you are doing to those children.

You dont fool me at all! Black Hollywood is in league with Devils and they are pimping out their children! You think Maya Campbell bugged out and started smoking meth cause she was bored?Why would 19 year old Montana Fishburne suddenly decide to do porn? How does someone so young, from a rich family end up with such a mangled vagina full of bites, sores and cigarette burns? Her father most likely has been selling her to Hollywood pedophiles to become famous! Willow has split personality with severe depression! I will continue to pray for these children.

The writing style from 'No Disrespect' to 'Coldest Winter Ever' is completely different--she was getting so must sh!t about having a ghost writer for Coldest (it takes TEN YEARS to do a sequel to a NYT bestseller? You're not doing anything else, so....) that she plopped out 'Midnight' and it was WACK.

I remember that I commented way back when that Willow was crying for help with her antics. You said all she wanted was attention. Yes, she wanted her parents attention without having to make movies and make videos. All she wanted was to be a child, not a movie star or recording artist.

She was crying out for her mother during that O interview with her Mom and Granny. I don't know that Jada heard her, though.

She was acting out and crying for help and FINALLY her father heard her.

Also, Jada caught a lot of flack, but by Will's own admission HE was pushing these children. HE decided that his children would be in show business. When so many Hollywood parents try to shield their children from the business, he wanted to build a show business family dynasty and it has been to his daughter's detriment. I am glad that he finally heard her.

Bee Gee, you owe that child an apology because you really acted like a bully with your words directed toward that child. No grown ass man should ever do that.

Will finally decided to step in and stop Jada from pimping his daughter out.

3:53 PM

You need to re-read Will's statement. HE was the one cutting the deal with Jay-Z, etc, and trying to do the hard sale, playing the Beyonce' card. If anyone was pimping that child out, it was him, by HIS OWN ADMISSION.

Willow has limitations with her abilities because she was born with them. Jada obviously was drinking while she was pregnant with her.

I remember years ago when Jada did an interview on Oprah about her drinking problems and "brief" addiction to wine. Willow was about 3 or 4 years old at the time.

The first time I saw Willow, I thought to myself: "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome".

At the very least there probably is extreme anxiety and ADHD/ADD manifested. They should just give her a very good education and make sure she goes off to college and racks up at least a Master's in something (maybe an MBA). She could go into entertainment business or law.

But clearly Willow is not cut out for the stage. And her talents have a "team".

Wow. I'm glad to be a parent that listens, I mean really listens to my children. So...if I'm to understand this correctly ,Jada is living her life through Willow.No wonder Will so stressed out. I mean, he is the sensitive one.Well,thank God for Will. So can we stop hitting this little girl because she was born into privilege. (Perspective)How many of you have children that grew up with everything,yet swears up and down that life is so hard? She's been trying to tell the WORLD she's in trouble .) If they don't let her live,she's gonna turn on them, or even worst.

Will and Jada royally fucked up as parents. Now Will wants to smooth it all over and make nice. There's no telling what kinda meds that girl is on. Her brother is wearing lip gloss and a hot ass mess. Only way those kids got a chance is to take them out of the industry completely, which is never going to happen. smh

She dropped out of "Annie" like her parents dropped out of the Oscars back (in 2002?), when her father's name was about to be called among the list of nominees for best actor in a leading role for portraying boxing great Muhammad Ali.

First, I have no apology for Willow because she was definitely craving and loving all the attention. When Botox Jada had that special where her, momma Botox, and Willow were talking, people were freaking out at Willow's "cry for help" on the trailer. Nobody had much to say after the show aired and they realized that she wasn't crying at all, yet just complaining that her celebrity made it take longer to do things like walking to the book store. While she may be changing as she grows, I called it like I saw it at the time, and I don't think I was being unfair.

Second, it's been clear the whole time that Jada was the driving force behind those kids' accelerated celebrity. I just think her husband may have at some point finally re-discovered his manhood and took charge of his household. Jada's thirst was apparent, and out of control. Bout time he checked her ass.

I spoke on the little girl the same way plenty of adults speak on fast ass little children. The absence of sensible parenting is no joke.

"Willow was supposed to be doing “Annie”, we got Jay-Z to do the movie, got the studio to come in and Willow had such a difficult time on tour with “Whip my Hair” and she said, “You know Daddy, I don’t think so” and I said, “baby, hold up! I said no,no,no, listen, you’ll be in New York with all of your friends and Beyoncé will be there. You will be singing and dancing,” and she looked at me and said, “Daddy, I have a better idea, how about I just be 12.”

Ths comment proved to me that Will and Jada was forcing Willow to do too much. I m happy the girl finally said... I just want to be 12! Stop trying to pimp me and push me with these illuminati puppets to be molded and used. Again why were they pushing Willow to be under Jay z and Beyonce!?! Smh.... Willow baby run honey just run out the mind control.

Jada is a backstage mom/ crazy soccer mom but with more celebrity contacts. For the commenter that said that Willow is slow or suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome...go sit in the corner. That poor child is definitely not slow and says a lot of profound things. I think she might be more talented than her brother and if her parents would just step back and let it develop naturally then she might be quite the artist in a few years whether it be acting singing even designing.

First, I have no apology for Willow because she was definitely craving and loving all the attention.

Did you not hear this child ask for her mother's attention? She did not want to be run like a racehorse by her parents. She simply wanted her parents attention, but she took any kind of attention that she could get. That's what humans, dogs, and any other mammal will do, if they can't get good attention they will surely get bad attention.

If she was such an attention whore as you called this CHILD, she would have JUMPED at the chance to be front and center and the focus of everyone's attention by being the star in Annie instead of protesting.

She wants what any child, human or otherwise wants, their parents attention. That is very normal and healthy.

You see, people who complain about children just wanting attention are the kind who think that children deserve little or none.

You may not agree with me but you were dead wrong to pick on this child the way that you did.

I know that this is a gossip website and adult celebrities are fair game, but I believe that a civilized person would leave a child alone.

@12:51, I agree! Willow is far from slow, she's a smart, witty and creative lil girl. They need to allow Willow time to grow naturally instead of trying to rush her growing process. Just let her be and both them and Willow should enjoy her being a child, it doesn't last long. Why the need for Willow to act and sing at such a young age? They're rich. Willow will find her own path in life of her own accord. A childs growth shouldn't be rushed. And a child needs to be allowed to be a child. And have their childhood. Otherwise the child will grow-up to be messed up mentally.

@6:53 So you're not well vised in public relations maneuvers huh. Will is taking the blame symbolically speaking because of all of the heat his wife been taking over the years about their kids celebrity ventures under her insistent guidance. These people pr staff monitors all of the websites and know what real people are saying about their choices & decisions.

We should not attack small children. Willow is not even teen yet and people where dragging this little girl because of her misinformed parents actions. It’s like when the known pedophile in the family abuses children. Then when the children (ren) act out in a negative way people like Bee Gee decide to rip the child apart. But as for the known pedophile, they are still invited to all the kids’ birthday parties, and holiday parties. The abusers will be allowed to abuse children for decades with no one coming to their aid even if the child is shouting from the mountain top for help.

Sorry about the rant. My point is that if the parents are damaged and allow their children to be victimized, and that child grows up damaged, mentally and emotionally unhealthy then it is the parents fought not the child’s. STOP placing adult RESPONSIBILITIES on children the when they fail to handle the responsibility like a mature adult you go HAM on the child. It’s called being a child for a reason. Place to fault where it belongs; ON THE PARENTS.

Will and Jada having children is like trying to grow lillies in a swamp. Their sick and twisted lifestyle and belief system is a toxic environment to raise children in. Sick Hollyweird folk raise sick Hollyweird children. Point blank period!

The word you were looking for is "versed", not "vised".

And how would you know that he is taking one for the team? How do you know that this was not HIS dream?

It reminds of a Black comedian who alluded to dealing with a pedophile in the family.

The joke was that little Tina got her assed whipped because she had been told to avoid Uncle Molester, yet somehow the two were in close proximity.

WTF, Uncle Molester should not be invited anywhere where there are children, I don't care if you are kin or not, I'm calling your molesting ass out, that is if I don't have the opportunity to get your ass put in jail or otherwise deal with you.

cosign 3:18 Will is full of it. She dropped out of this for the same reason she dropped out of ballet: she has no talent. She wasn't worried about being 11 when she was up in the strip club swinging on that pole or when she posted those pics of her "tongue ring" or when she died her hair green. How many 10 or 11 year old black girls are walking around with green hair or just cut off their hair?

I'm calling bullshit. I think the backers kicked her out because Jada wouldn't willingly let this go. She lives vicariously through Willow.

Oh, and dead at this:

"He need to focus on Jaden and his penchant for lipgloss and astroglide...3:17 PM"

COMMENDABLE THUMBS UP WILL SMITH IM DOING THE SAME THING AS A SINGLE PARENT MY SON IS 14 IN PUBERTY AND I DECIDED I WILL NOT DATE OR HAVE SEX BECAUSE MY BLACK SON IS GOIN THRU SOMETHIN AND ITS UP TO US TO STOP OUR NONSENCE AN TEND TO THERE NEEDS I DONT SMOKE OR SEX OR DATE CUZ THATS TIME AWAY FROM MY SON WHOS FATHER IS RARELY THERE WE HAVE TO MAKE SACRIFISES AND UNTIL MY SON FINDS HISSELF AND PLACE IN THIS WORLD I WILL NOT BE HAVING ADULT FUN KUDOS WILL LET WILLOW BE A CHILD CUZ I DO NOTICE SHE IS DIFFERENT AN REQIURES LOADS OF MORE ATTENTION THAN JADEN WHICH IS OK SHES A GIRL SO I GET IT.
